The Pioneer of Bengali Art Film
Ritwik Kumar Ghatak was one of the best Bengali filmmakers renowned for his thorough depiction of Bengali society in his films. His films tell the story of the day to day struggle of common Bengalis and their lifestyle. The messages he placed in his films made him more of a social activist and theorist than a filmmaker. During his career he made only eight full length films and a few short films and documentaries. Ghatak also wrote stories, poetry, plays and essays on film. His commentaries on film have been part of scholarly research on filmmaking. We remember this great personality on his 39th death anniversary.
